Obiettivi di apprendimento
Conoscenze
Lo studente avrà acquisito conoscenze in merito alla Radioprotezione dei Pazienti e degli operatori
Knowledge
The student will have acquired knowledge about Radiation Protection of Pazients and staff
Modalità di verifica delle conoscenze
Interazione in classe durante le lezioni. Eventuale elaborato finale
Assessment criteria of knowledge
Interaction in the classroom during lessons. Eventually production of a final paper
Capacità
Lo studente saprà valutare l'importanza dei principali indici dosimetrici e conoscerà il funzionamento dei DMS (Dose Management Systems)
Skills
Students will be able to evaluate the importance of the main dose indexes and will know the basic functions of DMS (Dose Management Systems)
Modalità di verifica delle capacità
Interazione in aula, esame finale (eventualmente sostituito da prova pratica o elaborato)
Assessment criteria of skills
Interaction in the classroom, final examination (that can be substituted by a practical test or by a written essay)
Comportamenti
Lo studente svilupperà sensibilità alle problematiche radioprotezionistiche
Behaviors
Students will develop awareness to radiation protection isseues
Modalità di verifica dei comportamenti
Interazione in aula, esame finale
Assessment criteria of behaviors
Interaction in the classroom, final examination
Prerequisiti (conoscenze iniziali)
Fisica Medica
Principi di Radioprotezione
Prerequisites
Medical Physics
Radiation Protection basic principles
Indicazioni metodologiche
Le lezioni sono frontali, con ausilio di diapositive o filmati e sono caratterizzate da forte interattività
Teaching methods
Frontal lessons are performed by using slides or educational movies and are chracterized by high interactivity
Programma (contenuti dell'insegnamento)
- Indicatori di dose
- DMS
- Dose Team
- Definizione di comportamenti pratici volti a massimizzare la sicurezza dell'operatore e del paziente sul luogo di lavoro.
Syllabus
Teaching material will be distributed during the lessons and will cover the following topics:
- Dose indexes
- DMS
- Dose Team
- Definition of pratical behaviours aimed at maximising security of staff workerson the job as well as protection of patients
